Friday's Fave Five #139

Welcome to Fave Fives. Are you all ready to look over the week and find five things from your week? Yes? Okay, let's get rolling.

1. Finding a book that I was wanting as a "keeper" for $3 at the library for sale. Love it when that happens.

2. Celebrations such as my Dad's 80th birthday last Saturday. It wasn't a long, drawn out affair but a really nice morning coffee surprise.

3. An unnoticed deal. A week after buying a shower curtain and matching hooks I dug the receipt out of the bag and lo and behold it was on sale. Whoo Hoo. That makes them even nicer. :v)

4. After the rain smells. How I love the scents that the rain brings out in the spring time. It's like all the dust and dirt is washed away and the smell of the new grass and earth and buds is given license to just freely waft. I could stand outside drawing in big breaths all morning when it's like that.

5. Last but definitely not least, my youngest girl being on the mend. After a horrendous weekend and beginning of the week with a huge infection of the skin deep inside her ears, 3 doctor visits, 2 specialist visits, 3 different eardrops, 2 different anti-biotics, a boatload of tears, a missed orchestra concert, 3 and 1/2 days off school and enough Tylenol 3's to knock out a baby elephant, she is finally starting to feel better. Whew. That was a rough one. It's not easy watching your child in that much pain. I'm so glad she is feeling better. Q-tips are now banned from within her reach.

What were your favorites this week? Take a pause in your busy day and reflect back to your blessings. Join us as we post on them and then sign on to Mr. Linky! If you need more info it's here. Have a great weekend everyone.

How neat to find a book you've been wanting for such a good price and then an unexpected savings on the shower curtain!

So glad for the special birthday celebration for your dad.

I love how rain in the air smells, too.

So glad your girl is feeling better. I think I mentioned my husband had an ear infection, too -- his started when he used an over-the-counter ear wax remover kit, but I don't know if that had anything to do with it or if it was coincidental. He's used that on his mom with no problem. He's better but it still hurts. It makes me understand why babies cry so much when they have ear infections!

You mentioned rain, I would never have thought that I wished it would rain, living in Belgium where usually it rains most of the time, but this year I don't even remember when it rained last time ! Sorry for your poor daughter, an ear infection hurts !

Oh Susanne, I'm so glad daughter is getting better. It's so hard to watch our children suffer. Happy B-day to your dad. I love it when I get a bargain, too. We finally have a Spring to really enjoy here for a few days woohoo!

so glad your daughter is feeling better!! yay.....mine is now on an antibiotic too but thank God we got it in time for the senior prom tonite! her face started swelling exactly 4 weeks from the day her wisdom teeth were removed (yesterday) so off to oral sugery we went again. he found an infection due to trapped food...ICK. so...she is better today. DOn't you just love all the blessings the Lord brings?? happy weekend Susanne. my post is up.
